Survive & Thrive

Mindfulness and Real Life Training for Our Teen Boys

Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Training

Survive and Thrive is a program developed by Morgan to be fun, helpful, and real. We talk about anything and everything. We aim to be the opposite of boring and lonely. Our main goals are to have a blast and learn how to love life.

Do you like to play, laugh, and have fun? Do you wish to spend your time with people who are interested in having

more than superficial conversations? Do you value people you can trust, whom you have confidence in and can share bonds of recognition?

If you spend time searching for your motivation, wishing school were easier, being annoyed at the annoying stuff, stressed at the stressful stuff, or wondering where the exciting ideas and people are, then Survive and Thrive is for you!

Make no mistake, you will be challenged. Maybe showing up will be hard. Maybe being vulnerable will be uncomfortable. Maybe dealing with the other guys will be annoying. But this is reality and everything we do is here intended to give you the tools to figure these situations out. How will you ever get good at solving the difficult puzzles in life without safely experimenting with solutions to what you are facing now?

Together we build the trust to safely delve into the murky depths, ask the wild questions that are often ignored and explore the uncomfortable territory that comes with being a teenager.

Survive and Thrive is designed to help one:

Experience what it’s like to be motivated.

Feel accepted. Understood. Seen.

Make clear and confident decisions.

Learn what it’s like to be assertive and decisive.

Experience being part of an awesome team where you feel understood and appreciated rather than isolated, lonely or lost.

Cultivate the notion and practice of seeing one’s “deficiencies” as assets.

Survive and Thrive will continue to be led by Ian Abraham and myself. Ian combines his great instincts and experience with young people, a vast knowledge of the natural world, and deep caring for the health and well being of our young people! It’s an absolute gift for us all to have him along for the journey!

What They’re Saying

"You are in my head! Every time I talk with Jake I'm trying to say the things I want to say with the patience and care you say them with."

"I could use some positive vibes for the week and you are the most positive and energetic person I know."

"As always you shine light where it is dark for me. Thanks!"

"Wow Morgan, your listening is outstanding. My husband and I are impressed by the presence you have on calls and your ability to understand our kid. Thank you for the work you're doing with him."

"Thank you so much for the work you do. It is deeply meaningful to me. It blesses me and enriches my life to know that you are helping these young men learn that there are different ways of moving about life. You help them to explore and find options in the midst of a seemingly certain lack of options."

"Morgan, You help me stay motivated, inspired, and open-minded to the new challenges I am going to face, even though they won't be easy. I'm going to stay positive."

"In our ongoing search to finding deep meaning and purpose in our lives, Morgan encourages us to act - to move forward with courage and dignity, with confidence and respect - in short, to 'Play Huge!'"

"I'm impressed with what I saw happening in our kid, just what she needed to get her talents out and show more of her great personality. It's kind of a liberating experience, to be able to be herself and not be afraid of other's approval. She still has a lot to learn but slowly she will find the way!"
